Clothes Dryer User Manual

NOTE: To reset the Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) module if it is in the LOCKOUT mode, open and

close the main door, then restart the dryer.

4) DSI Module

If there is some sort of operational interference in the DSI system, the DSI module (acting as the

“controller” for the system) will go into a LOCKOUT mode (where the light emitting diode [L.E.D.]

will BLINK “GREEN” CONTINUOUSLY).

a) Operational interference is any adverse condition (whether internal or external) to the system.

(Electrical noise is considered external noise interference because it can cause the DSI module

to cycle erratically.)

NOTE: To reset the DSI module if it is in the LOCKOUT mode, open and close the main door, then

restart the dryer.

If the gap, the alignment, and the position of the ignitor/flame-probe assembly are correct; if the

gas flow/pressure is constant and consistent; if there is no adverse air turbulence; and if the DSI

module remains in the LOCKOUT mode (where the L.E.D. will BLINK “GREEN”

CONTINUOUSLY) then, there is a malfunction within the DSI module itself, and it must be

replaced.

5) Wiring

If the DSI module is in the “LOCKOUT” mode (where the L.E.D. will BLINK “GREEN”

CONTINUOUSLY), and the mechanical components have been checked (i.e., the ignitor/flame-

probe assembly, the gas valve, etc.), then there may be a problem somewhere in the DSI system

wiring.

a) Check

ALL the wiring within the DSI system, especially the ground connections on the DSI

module and the ignitor/flame-probe assembly.

NOTE: Check for any possible damage to the ceramic insulators on the ignitor electrode and the

flame-probe electrode of the ignitor/flame-probe assembly.

b) Make sure the flame-probe electrode of the ignitor/flame-probe assembly is positioned no more

than 1-inch (2.54 cm) maximum from the burner tube.

CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE IGNITOR/FLAME-PROBE ASSEMBLY TOUCH THE

BURNER TUBES; OTHERWISE, THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WILL SHORT OUT.

6) DSI 24 VAC Transformer

The DSI transformer is designed to step down the operating voltage of the dryer to 24 VAC to

operate the DSI module. This transformer, like ALL transformers, is two (2) sided (refer to the

illustration on page 44).
